Tutorial: TwinCAT 3 Simulation Runtime for FMI - Using the Simulation Runtime in Simulink^®

TwinCAT offers many features and various software function blocks for all automation tasks.

The TwinCAT 3 engineering components enable the configuration, programming and debugging of applications.

The TwinCAT 3 Simulation Runtime for FMI provides an interface for simulation tools that support the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI). The interface is based on the TwinCAT 3 UserMode Runtime, which can be accessed in sync from the simulation tool. This is exported to an FMU together with an interface description configured in TwinCAT, and can be imported into any simulation tool that supports the FMI interface as a co-simulation. Support is offered for both FMI 2.0 and 3.0. The TwinCAT project that is being executed in the FMU can also be part of the FMU; however, it is also possible to connect to this UM runtime with a TwinCAT engineering system and monitor or modify the code executed in the FMU in TwinCAT.
